Patent GB-2402569-A (GB)
Title: Mobile telecommunication device with camera
Inventor: ASHBROOK DAVID
IPC: H04N7/14
Filed: 2003-06-05
Abstract: A mobile telephone includes an internally mounted camera 9 for capturing an image. The telephone has a casing 1, optionally comprising pivotally mounted first and second parts (29, 31 fig 6). The casing has a length, width and depth, the depth being the smallest or smaller dimension. The elements of the camera 9 are disposed generally lengthwise or widthwise or obliquely thereto. This allows the length L of the camera 9 to be increased, thereby allowing the distance between the outermost lens 10 and the image sensor 15 also to be increased. This reduces distortion of the captured image and also allows greater space for optics to be accommodated within the casing of the camera 9 so that an optical zoom facility can be provided. The camera may be mounted in the pivot (fig 6).

Patent GB-2401695-A (GB)
Title: Performing a carry-save division operation
Inventor: EBERGEN JOSEPHUS C
IPC: G06F7/52
Filed: 2004-05-06
Abstract: The invention provides a system that performs a carry-save division operation that divides a numerator, N, by a denominator, D, to produce an approximation of the quotient, Q = N/D. The system approximates Q by iteratively selecting an operation to perform based on higher order bits of a remainder, r, and then performing the operation, wherein the operation can include subtracting D from r and adding a coefficient c to a quotient calculated thus far q, or adding D to r and subtracting c from q. These subtraction and addition operations maintain r and q in carry-save form, which eliminates the need for carry propagation and thereby speeds up the division operation. Furthermore, the selection logic is simpler than previous SRT division implementations, which provides another important speed up.

Title: Perfluorocarbon solvents for reducing the concentration of carcinogens in cells
Inventor: MATSUMOTO KAIZEN
IPC: A61K31/02
Filed: 2004-12-02
Abstract: Biologically compatible inert perfluorocarbon liquids are capable of removing carcinogens from cells and thereby reducing the risk of cancerous cell transformations. Preferred perfluorocarbons include perfluorooctyl bromide and perfluorodecalin. These perfluorocarbon liquids can be used to reduce carcinogen build-up in cellsand can thus be used as prophylactic medicaments in reducing the risk of chemically induced cancerous cell transformations and thus cancer. Typically the cells to be treated are exposed to the perfluorocarbon liquid for at least an hour to allow for passive partitioning of the lipophilic carcinogens between the lipophilic environment of the cells and the liquid, before the perfluorocarbon liquid is removed. The liquids may be applied to any organ of the body and thus these liquids may be useful in the reducing the risk of cancers including lung cancer, stomach cancer, rectal cancer and certain types of skin cancer.
Patent GB-2410155-A (GB)
Title: Controlling wireless headset links depending on presence or absence of relay terminal
Inventor: KATAYAMA MUTSUMI
IPC: H04W84/10
Filed: 2004-12-15
Abstract: The invention provides a means whereby from the presence or absence of an input at a Bluetooth (RTM) headset 11, it is possible to determine whether the headset 11 is communicating with a portable phone 12 directly (Fig. 1) or via a relay terminal 13 (Fig. 2) and to select an optimal waiting state accordingly. In a waiting state, both a Synchronous Connection Oriented (SCO) link used for voice data and an Asynchronous Connectionless (ACL) link used for data transfer can be disconnected to save power but to avoid delays in establishing a new SCO link from the waiting state, the ACL link can be maintained. In a Bluetooth (RTM) headset configuration employing a relay terminal 13 (e.g. a vehicle-mounted relay for a headset worn by a driver or passenger), the ACL link should be maintained in the waiting state to avoid delays in the control operations sent from the relay terminal to the headset using the SCO link; in a configuration without a relay, control inputs are made at the headset and both the SCO and ACL links can be disconnected to save power. The invention provides a Bluetooth (RTM) terminal functioning as a headset 11 and having an input key 17 for accepting an input operation (e.g. a transmitting operation, a receiving operation and a call termination operation) and a waiting state selection means for selecting a waiting state to be entered on call termination, where the waiting state selected following a call without operation of input key 17 is one where an SCO link is disconnected and an ACL link is (preferably) maintained and the waiting state selected following a call with operation of input key 17 is one where both the SCO and ACL links are disconnected. A Bluetooth (RTM) relay device disconnecting a SCO link and maintaining an ACL link in a waiting state is also claimed.

Title: Wireless video signal transmission system for vehicles
Inventor: DENNY PATRICK EOGHAN
IPC: B60R11/00
Filed: 2005-06-22
Abstract: A video signal transmission system for transmitting video signals from a remotely mounted video camera (2) to a vehicle mounted video signal processing unit (3) for display on a vehicle mounted visual display screen (4). An on-board master control unit (5), which controls the operation of the video camera (2), receives video signals from the video camera (2), and relays the video signals to the video signal processing unit (3). Initially, a master microprocessor (15) of the master control unit (5) selects the least noisy channel, and sets the transmission channel of a slave transmitter (34) of the video camera (2) and the receive channel of a master receiver (17) of the master control unit(5) to the selected channel. A master transmitter (16) of the master control unit (5) under the control of the master microprocessor (15) transmits control signals to a slave microprocessor (31) of the video camera for reception by a slave receiver (33) for selecting the transmission channel of the slave transmitter (34). The master transmitter (16) under the control of the master microprocessor (15) outputs a predetermined signal at predetermined intervals for reception by the slave receiver (33). Absence of reception of the predetermined signal by the slave receiver (33) indicates that the video camera (2) is out of range of the master control unit (5), and the video camera (2) is put into a sleep mode. The system may be used to provide a rear view when reversing.
